The dielectric properties of heterogeneous media are of increasing interest as many applications exploit the usage of dielectric property detection in bio-imaging, scanning, microwave tomography and other electromagnetic applications. Using Laplace’s equation for non-integer dimensions, ... Read More
This paper describes the modeling of an electrochemical biosensor embedded in a microfluidic channel to determine the concentration of a target biomolecule. The total amount of analyte in the sample can be calculated by integrating the analyte concentration over the duration of the peak ... Read More
It is possible to control the motion of magnetic beads using a combination of hydrodynamic and electromagnetic forces. In this work, we investigate the possibility to manipulate the motion of beads with different magnetic moments in a special microfluidic structure so as to separate ... Read More
The detection and identification of the location of a sound source is commonly done using arrays of microphones. A recent new alternative approach has been proposed which involves the use of continuous structures, such as beams or plates, as acoustic wave sensors. The sound wave ... Read More
A portable device that can identify protein and peptides real time in complex biological systems such as human bodily fluids reliably and accurately is in high demand to properly diagnose and treat medical conditions. Lynntech has developed an innovative Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) based ... Read More
Signal processing algorithms for chemical sensing/monitoring have been subject of considerable research interest in the recent years mainly due to their diverse applicability. When the concentration of chemical agent is small, the dispersion of particles is governed by stochastic ... Read More
This paper presents results on the visualisation of tracks of charged particles in a non-uniform magnetic field. The field modelled is that generated by a coil driven by DC current. The motion of typical particles, such as electrons, ions and multiply-charged heavy particles has been ... Read More
Hydrophones are acoustic receivers, which can be used to listen to the sound propagating underwater for the purposes of monitoring marine life, or other sound producing activities in the sea. Commonly used hydrophones are based on piezoelectric transducers. With the introduction of fiber ... Read More
Transport phenomena in spatially periodic magnetic systems, in particular the directed transport of magnetic beads in a so called magnetic ratchet (Brownian motor) are considered. Simulations are carried out to test and optimize this system, where the Smoluchowski equation with flux ... Read More
Monitoring of indoor CO2 concentration is of particular interest to detect room occupancy in order to optimise power consumptions of building. One technological approach is to use optical detection using specific absorption lines of CO2 molecules in the infrared domain close to 4.2 &mu ... Read More
